Hi all,
A few weeks ago I bought a second hand AquaOne AR-126 35L tank, I removed the gravel and did all the required tests to make sure it was safe. Then came the cycle, since I couldn't locate any ammonia (could only find the cloudy stuff at countdown), I had to use a dead shrimp in some pantyhose, not the desired method, its been sitting in the tank for about 2 weeks now and with some mature media the ammonia is just starting to be processed.
The tank will be a Dwarf Puffer, either a solitary male/female or trio (one male and two females). I'm going to plant it with a sand substrate, rocks and some driftwood. I'll be dosing with Seachem Flourish Excel.
The current plant list is this...
Java Fern
Java Moss
Baby Tears
Vallis
Crypts
Thats all I have ATM I'm open for more suggestions though.
Oh, and the light is an 11Watt AquaOne.
This is the most recent pic....
Unfortunately, as you can see, I have gotten mold growing on the shrimp :phb:
Thats it for now
